There were protests and there were people complaining, lots of people were complaining actually. But ultimately, Mary had the rules on her side. The words had stated as such, any willing wolf of age.

She had presented and she had gone through her first heat, that is what made her of age. By their laws she was old enough to be mated and therefore of age.

She could still hear some muttering, mostly angry muttering among the crowd but ultimately, she was right. There was no specification of the wolf being alpha or omega, she was sure that in the future they were going to make sure to include those words, but for now, this time, she was able to compete.

She wasn't the only female, she had that at least, there were two other females but they were both alphas and even they were snickering at her direction.

She ignored them and focused on undressing, pulling her pants off and everything, handing them to her mother who was just staring at her in almost horrified shock, she wanted to believe that her father was looking at her with pride in his eyes but at the same time she knew he felt the same as her mother.

She was of age, she didn't need their permission, but it would be nice to have their support at least a little bit.

Her mother tried to grab at her arm to get her attention but Mary slid her arm free from her and moved back to the front of the crowd, naked and ready. She felt a bit vulnerable and exposed like this but refused to let herself slump forward, forcing her shoulders back and back straightened as much as it can be.

"Usually we only have a single rule, all fights continue until the wolf yields or death." the second in command said, his eyes going over the contestants, lingering on Mary for a moment. "However, due to a...unseen addition there must be a second rule. No usage of scents. The alphas are not allowed to attempt to use their scents to force a submission and the...omega cannot use her scent to try to force the alpha to protect her."

Mary couldn't and didn't hold back her snort at that, there was more snickering among the crowd at that and she let her claws grow just a bit longer.

"Tonight will be the first of four fights which will take place over a month." he continued. He looked over the group, counting off how many wolves were attempting the competition. "There are thirty-two wolves here vying for the position of alpha. Tonight you will be grouped in four and it will continue until there are only two per group. The next week those two will fight one another until one remains. The following week those four remaining from will fight until one remains. And finally,"

He drew himself up more, the light from the stars twinkling above him. "The fourth week shall be the final fight, the fight between the two that remains. It shall be under the light of the full moon and once more." he glanced over all of them. "It shall be until death or yield."

Mary fought the urge to swallow and instead rolled her shoulders back, trying to push down on her nerves as best as she could.

Someone was going through the crowd and pushing and pulling wolves into the groups of four, they lingered for a moment at Mary, staring at her, before they pressed her into a group and continued onwards.

Mary glanced at the wolves she had been grouped with and they starting to posture a bit more, When they saw her looking they smirked at her and arched slightly. She rolled her eyes once more and looked away.

She couldn't help but look to where John was. He was doing the same and smiled at her. He wasn't the smallest wolf in his group but there was one alpha that was larger than him. She looked away from him and focused on her own group.

A hush fell in the crowd once more and they were all pushed to the side but kept with their group. Each group was going to have their own turn and slowly Mary could feel the excitement grow around them.

She couldn't help but look up towards the sky where only the slightest hint of a moon could be seen. She swallowed hard and tried to focus as they were brought forward as the first group to fight.

"You might want to run away omega." one of the wolves muttered to her. "Might be too much for your delicate eyes."

Mary narrowed her eyes and the second the signal was given she whirled around and swiped her claws over his face, ripping apart his skin and first blood being shed before everything else around her exploded.
